Hello,
I own a Gibson RD Artist from 6th of June 1979.
After a search of one year in my country(The Netherland) in finely found one, almost 3 years ago.
I wanna know more about it, so that’s why I’m Looking for a Manual and the Electronical Schematic. I think the schematic is the same as from ’77 & 78.
So if someone can get one for me. Maybe a copy of it, please let me know.
Thanks

I am really looking around for a Gibson RD Bass that is in fairly good condition. Ebay’s last one was all dinged up. If anyone is wanting to sell one, please let me know. Thanks!
I have been Searching for a Clint Briley hand made gutair or the man. I want to surprise my husband for our 10th anniversery by getting him one of these. It is the sweetest tone on a gutair I have ever heard. If I can’t find another, I would like to find Clint. I know he lived in Clearwater Florida for a while. I did too. His gutair I bought for my boyfriend at the time 12 years ago caused him to fall in love with me. We have been married just shy of 10 years now. This gutair has played a romantic part in our lives. Anyone who can help with finding Clint Briley or one of his gutairs please email me asap: [email protected]! Thanks!

This popular thread has been given its own page : Gibson ES Artist from 1980
: Hi, I own a Gibson ES Artist from 1980, shaped like the ES335 but without the f-holes like the Lucille type, 3 nobs with active electonics from Moog in it, compressor,series switch, treble boost and active controles for the treble and bass. Can anyone tell me what they are worth nowadays and where I can let them be repaired for the electronic parts if necessairy. Thanks a lot!! Paul from Holland.

I own one, love it. tried to get active electronics fixed/replaced years ago, went to a ‘famous’ builder – who was actually very good, he kept the guitar for about 2 months looking for the electronic’s – but alas gave up and i do believe there are no replacements, although now with the internet who knows. If you look on the net, you will see that these baby’s go for $2k to $4k depending. Good luck!

i live near dr. robert moog and have obtained some NOS CIRCUIT BOARDS for les paul artist. never installed compete boards,both sides still attached.
I am desperately looking for a Gibson RD Bass. I don’t care about the color, even though I would prefer a black one, but I will definately accept any other colors. If you can give me a reasonable offer I might accept. I am desperate.
I have been fortunate to have owned a 1979 RD Artist for about 10 years now.
The necks a little warped and there are some dings here and there but I still would never get rid of it. If you can get past the extreme weight of this ax, I would get try to get your hands on one. It has some of the sweetest sounds I’ve ever heard from a bass. I say some because with the onboard electronics, you can switch the sound in various combinations. Combine that with a Big Muff and a Cry Baby and youve got a recipe for some heavy sh#t. Trust me, if you get the chance to buy one, take it! I’m trying to by a new one as we speak. But I’ve already got one so I’ll let you poor fools who don’t have one to take advantage. Happy hunting!

There was one in Wizard Guitars in Doncaster a few years back for about £900 and another deep reddish in Music Ground but I think that was an RD Custom. You can keep seeing them around if you visit a lot of stores. We’ve got a nice one but wouldn’t sell unless someone offered us silly money.

Does anyone know anything about the EB-450 bass by gibson, I have one from the early 70’s but have never come across anyone else who owns one.
This popular thread has been given its own page : Re: Gibson EB-450
: Hello!
: I´m actually thinking of buying one, but I don´t have it yet. * smile *
: As far as I know these were manufactured during a short period of time in the early 1970-s, (70-72 or if it was 71-72.) They´re not too common since they were manufactured in fairly small numbers during only a couple of years.
: The SB450 is a cheaper version of the EB3 model, sharing some of the hardware with the MelodyMakers. There was also a shortscale version of the instrument called SB350. These two replaced the earlier SB400 and SB300…

to the person with the gouged out back, I played mine and dug a nice gouge with my belt buckle. I sold mine in Reno nv. I would sure like to find that bass again. Gigged over a hundred times with it. The only problem is its neck heavy, had a custom strap made.
Do any one know how many RD Artist was made ? the one with built in compressor ?? and what they are selling for now day ??
Are these collector guitar ?? thanks for all input
Hello: I have two rd artist guitars. The RD Artist, Les Paul. Only 500 were made in the early 80’s. I also have the RD Artist, designed by Dr. Robert Moog, Tobacco Burst.
All in all, 2500 was manufactured…..
If it’s mint condition it could fetch up to US$1000, more if you sell it in England. I’m not sure how many they made, but they were only manufactured for 2 years. They are still quite common. so not quite a collector’s item yet, unless it belonged to someone famous.
Do you have one? I have two and I restore them. If you have one you’d be willing to sell let me know.
Looking for a RD artist (not a bass) in good condition, can anybody help? I live in the UK if that makes a difference 🙂

: Have this guitar. Anybody there who has a Manual or s.th. like that; want to to know more ’bout the electronics (compressor ??)
Right, here goes!
There is a three way switch which selects the pickups. OK. There is another three-way which does nothing in the centre position. In the pointing BACK position (at the bum of the gtr) it is a treble boost. Very sharp and toppy. Pointing FORWARDS at the head of the gtr, it is strange. The NECK pickup is compressed, the notes have long sustain, chords are quieter, single notes fuller. The BRIDGE pickup is ‘expanded’ like a squelch on a radio. Signal to moise improves, sustain is less, the sound is more percussive. Both pickups TOGETHER there is a sharp percussive attack, from the bridge pickup, followed by a smooth swell as the neck pickup takes over. It’s a bit disconcerting and like the housefly has no known practical use. The RD Artist was to be Gibson’s flagship model but the music industry was underwhelmed and it failed. Dr Moog of the famous synthesiser is reputed to have helped design it. They’s have been better off asking Professor Les Paul IMHO.
I still love mine tho.
I have this guitar since 1980 I think. But I did’nt play it for about ten years. I’m pretty sure that I have a complete description of the guitar and all the (Moog)electronics.
Please let me know if youre still intrested. (I have to find the papers)
I had this guitar for about five years, sold it about ten years ago. Excellent necks on those. I never had a manual, but checking up on them over the years, I discovered that the two effects are a compressor and a treble booster. Hope this helps!
Does anyone out there know ANYTHING about these beasts???? They have a big semi-acoustic single cut away jazz guitar sytle body in book- matched flame maple, F sound holes, ebony board, Bartolini active humbuckers, gold hardware, and MASSIVE "Elvis on tour in the 50’s" pimp style cases (oddly enough, they were made around 1990). I saw one about three years ago in Andy’s in Demark St. (London)and it was £1850($3000+)and I wanted it, but couldn’t afford it (sigh). So, I had to leave it…I searched online and found ONE in Santa Rosa ($3500)….ANYWAY, the years flew by and I re-found the same EB-750 for sale for £1250 in "The Gallery-Bass Merchant" (The COOLEST bass shop in the WORLD!)…so, that was that – I bought it..I have still found nothing about it other than the usual Gibson thing where they tell you back whet you have just told them….oh, and that the one in Santa Rosa was bought by the bassist in "Hole" – I would finish by saying that they are FANTASTIC and everyone loves it ( including my girlfrind amazingly enough…)
SO PLEASE…ask your friends and relatives, search you garages, attics and local libraries. All help gratefully received
Thanks

What kind of speakers do Ampeg use in their 4×10 cabinents? Do they make their own, or use celestions or eminence? Any info appreciated.
My box ( model V4, 4×12", 100W 8 Ohms )has CTS speakers, ceramic type and they sound great. I have played the head with Marshall ( Slash signature) box and with JBL loudspeakers from a Fender Twin Reverb but the CTS sound much better.
I also would like to get more info on these speakers as the CTS www has not info. Hope this is of assistance.
